Stainless steel has been around only 110 years. Imagine not having it. Crazy.

- Comment on I mean have they seen our stipends 2 weeks ago:
Years ago my wife did an online course, I forget which one, it might have been open university (UK). She worked full-time with a fair salary and studied a few hours each week in the evening. She got a student discount card. The requirements seem (or did, perhaps it’s changed now) quite low.
- Comment on A bad influence 3 weeks ago:
People do silly things. We have a department at work which pulls data from our ERP system to excel. They’re pulling 10’s of thousands of rows to return only a few bits of detail like product descriptions for a handful of items. I’ve offered to help them but they really don’t want help. They seem to be happy with this monster.
There’s another department which runs reports from our BI system, exports it to Excel, adds some calculations, then builds reports from that. They literally just need to ask the BI analyst to build them a report to their requirements.
I’m convinced people like screwing around in excel because it gives them something creative to do in an otherwise bland job.

It’s more confusing looking at it from a top view. When driving it’s loads easier. I was expecting a mind numbing event first time I drove it but it wasn’t that bad really.

I’ve been using one of the hottest sauces I’ve had in a long time. It’s called Satan Revenge made with ghost peppers. I’m in so much pain when and after eating it. It’s good stuff.

Similar to what they’re doing in Africa with rare earth mining. Control the mining and/or the trade of mined rare earths.

Thank you. I missed that part.

I didn’t know either. Shame I had to filter through loads of bad joke replies to find the one which seems to be the right answer.

I tried explaining this to a friend who was convinced masks do nothing. He would say stuff like “if it can still get through then what’s the point”. He claimed only people at risk should wear them.
- Comment on UK minister: Brexit checks ‘price you pay for being a sovereign state again’ 3 months ago:
I work for a a UK food manufacturer which did export 40% to the EU. The added costs of getting food over to EU resulted in the sales teams having to renegotiate the selling prices to EU customers. Most basically said no. Why should they pay a higher price when they can source the same type of product within the EU at a lower price. The big EU buyers stopped trading with us.
When politicians say businesses need to adapt I really have no idea what they have in mind when they say that. We are not in a position to demand customers pay more. And most businesses aren’t in a position to swallow additional costs. The only reason our business didn’t sink is because it’s part of a much larger group so was able to flatten out the financial impact by borrowing internally.
I’m starting to think “adapt” means tough shit.
- Comment on 8 Years later my Steam Link is still getting regular updates 4 months ago:
I remember that sale and annoyed I didn’t buy one. At the time I thought I’d never use it. Fast forward a few years and I occasionally use Steam Link on a Raspberry Pi, so I would have used it. Oh well.
- Comment on 8 Years later my Steam Link is still getting regular updates 4 months ago:
Ive had lag once using the Raspberry Pi variant and that was due to using a poor quality usb cable, it was under powering the unit. Aside from that it’s been surprisingly fast on ethernet and WiFi.
- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 4 months ago:
I’ve not noticed any problems with Google myself but I just did the same search you did. It brought up Google maps at the top, quite helpful as it showed local photographers. But as I went down to the results the only one in my local area was the top result. The rest were things like photographers in Majorca, Peterborough, a random motorcycle website.
I’ve never noticed how broken Google is until now.

Then plug in a DVD player which will probably do the same thing.

Why would you need to rewire the house to allow a smart meter to automatically update usage to the provider?

Does he have an agent or somebody who can be contacted? Not justifying the shop from doing this but how would somebody seek his permission?
- Comment on Most motorists want noise cameras installed to clamp down on loud cars 8 months ago:
Yeah for sure. I honestly think electric scooters and electric bikes are the way forward (not wasting energy on 1-2 tonnes of metal while going round town). But until they are better regulated and enforced it’s just mayhem.
- Comment on Most motorists want noise cameras installed to clamp down on loud cars 8 months ago:
Same here. And in recent years the amount of drivers are pushing their luck more. Like driving clearly illegal bikes, driving on grass parks and footpaths and even through underpasses. I saw three teenagers break into a bike shed to stash their stolen scooter in. The Police didn’t seem to care much even though I called with a crime in progress. Nothing like this happened where I live a few years prior.
